Ran the restart, checked the program86 steam file,and the direct short links to either R:TW or R:TW BI doesn't work either, same error as with EB *laughs* my other game direct links work too, must be an issue with Gold edition

Then explain how my Steam version of EB launches fine. Remember: Steam sells Rome not as a stand-alone but as Rome-Gold. I have what you have. Why does one of us have a workable setup while the other does not?

well it's the great mystery for our time. But I found an alternative and use the "-show_err -mod:eb " until I find the motivation to find out why. will keep tabs on the thread when a more stable solution is found later on

C:\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 4760 -show_err -nm -ne -mod:eb

That's what my shortcut says.

Hey Vartan i have the same problem as Lukas. windows 7 64 bit, steam-Rome Gold(as you said) i;ve tried what you set up perhaps i should clean everything and try again? After i first installed and and fired up eb it actually went to a eb load screen but that was it. now i think Rome is gonna have to be wiped too. if you have any thoughts thatd be great if you could get back to me. and sorry for the run on sentences

Are you sure it wasn't my video? Haha. It's been a while since my February post. I'm glad you got it to work.
